Bug#715010: ITP: dhcpy6d - DHCP server for IPv6
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Daniel Pocock <daniel@pocock.com.au>
Upstream is Henri, on CC. His web site is
http://dhcpy6d.ifw-dresden.de
I've offered to help him get the package in shape but we would
potentially like help from another sponsor
Benefit to Debian:
- the ISC DHCPD package doesn't ship with IPv6 init script
- the ISC DHCPD package doesn't support MAC-based IPv6 clients, that is
a major hassle for some people
- this package appears to be a good solution
I've tried the package from the upstream web site, it has some easily
fixed lintian errors and warnings (e.g. a copy of a log file is included
in the package)
Two small problems prevent the daemon starting on wheezy:
python-dnspython needs to be added to the system (should be a dependency)
It fails to find modules from /usr/share/pyshared - adding this code to
/usr/sbin/dhcpy6d fixes it:
sys.path[0:0] = ['/usr/share/pyshared']
